Kelly, it is so good to hear from you. I was worried your silence meant you were not feeling well - instead you are just busy - and taking good care of yourself! Your new job sounds great - enjoy every minute of it - and soon you will have that Dr. wrapped around your pinkie!!

~ I bet that pinkie has pink glitter nailpolish on it too So good to hear from you Kelly. Sorry I missed you on my oh-too-short visit to So Cal a few weeks ago. Next time for sure. Take gentle care of yourself....

Hey there!

I got a call back from Balcom Cyn this morning - they left me a message on my voicemail. She said as per the vets office when they picked Noah up, he did well, no one said anything like, "OH MY GOD! THAT CAT IS SATAN!!! HE BITES! HE BIT THE GROOMER! DOES HE HAVE RABIES??? DO YOU HAVE HIS VACCINE RECORDS? ETC..." She said I could call the vets office to see how he did if I wanted to get a first hand account, but I don't need to, just as long as nothing happened and he's OK.

She said, "He did well and he looks good". That's enough for me. I can't wait till tomorrow so I can go out and see my little furless man!! I wonder how much they shaved him? Usually he gets CiCi & Kelly's version of the Lion Cut - we leave his tail because he looks manly that way...and we leave more on his back and limbs. So, I'm readying myself to see Noah in an actual Lion Cut....I WILL be taking pictures and posting here sometime this weekend for you all.

As far as $$. I have approx. $200 in savings from donations that people sent directly to me for his care and/or lodging. My parents get all testy with me if I try to spend my own money (paycheck) on anything but food for Noah or the other three. They feel that because I owe them so much $$, that any $$ coming in for me automatically is theirs and how I spend it, is up to THEM.

I do actually have a plan. (yay?) After hearing that Noah is allowing one or more people to pet/touch him WITHOUT me even being there makes me feel very, very positive. I'm going to start making signs to put up EVERYWHERE I can. I think that if I can find someone that DOES NOT have any other cats, or maybe a non-alpha cat and is VERY, VERY understanding and willing to give Noah space, quiet and time, maybe he is fosterable at this point? I think maybe he just needed me - and the people at Balcom (unbeknowst to me) to work with him. Who knows?

So, I'm going to need your prayers and your advice on this one. Do you all think this is a good time? Do you think the feedback I've gotten is enough to go on for making him a fostering candidate?

What do you all think??

I'll update this weekend, sometime after I see my Lion, Noah.

Hugs, Kelly & Noah

Kelly,

I'm glad that Noah has seemed to calm down. I'm going to make a suggestion here. It is from my heart and I beg you not to bash me or call me evil. I'm saying this because I have only Noah's best interest at heart.

Have you given any thought to finding a permanent home for Noah. One with no other cats or animals, and someone who has the patience and time that Noah needs.

I know how much you adore Noah. Uprooting time after time, after time is not fair to him. I know it's a difficult decision to make, and believe me, I've had to make it.

You've been in my prayers honey. I hope you'll think about what I said.

(((((((HUGS)))))))))))

Hello!!!

I got to spend a few hours with my Noah this weekend and I got the shock of my life!! For those that have had the pleasure of Noah's...uhm...odd personality...(not towards me, of course)...you'll experience some of what I did.

I walked into the 2nd Kitty Bungalow armed with treats and a fleece blankie because I knew Noah would be a lot more nekked with his new 'do. When I walked in and found him sitting on the lower bed/area/shelf of his kitty apartment/condo I was shocked!!! Shocked because there was a Tuxie kitty named 'Cricket' that was getting his cage cleaned by Sam, the young guy that Noah likes and one of the "phone girls" was in there too helping with the kitty litter and playing with Cricket. Noah was sitting there like he was on my couch, watching me brush my hair or opening a bag of catnip - he was happy, calm and INTERESTED in what they were doing! His eyes were bright and HAPPY.

I immediately asked Sam and the girl (I forget her name, as we only spoke for about 20 minutes vs the hour or so I spent with Sam) how Noah was doing and they both chimed in with, "Good! He looks sooooo cute with his lion cut! He's a REALLY good boy!" I said (shocked as heck that someone finally was getting to see MY NOAH), 'wait, what? he's been, nice to you??? really???' And then we discussed Noah while I went into his condo/apartment and gave him love and he purred and I fussed over him like he likes - especially after a hair cut like that. Here are some pictures and then I'll tell you all what they said...and some more about Balcom Cyn. I left there feeling so much better, happier, KNOWING that there is no way Noah would act like that all the sudden if he were unhappy. I knew in my heart this was the correct choice and you all helped to make that possible when I couldn't. Thank you all so much.

OK, here's Noah....the perfect, "pet-sized" Lion:

"Ooooh, is that my mommy???"


"Yep, but I'm gonna play 'hard to get' until she loves on me and tells me how cute I am!"


"OK, I'll get up...I want kisses and she must see the rest of me, I'm darned cute like this!!"


*stttrrrreeeeettttccccccchhhhhhhh*


"Getting some pets from Meowmie..."


A few more coming....

[NoahsMommy]

"Mmmmm....."Temptations"....."


"Good treats, I'm gonna go in my cave and take a bath now"
****CUTE Tail Shot!!****


The End...of the pictures...until next weekend.

Will update more later. Gotta go home.
